I did it and I loved it and I would go back to do it again in a heartbeat. But that's me...

I actually wrote an article on the subject (for deskdemon in fact, but I think it was so old it was pulled long ago). There are a number of factors to consider - especially your working style, how much you might miss your co-workers (sometimes you don't realize how much you actually need human contact until you don't have it), your level of self-discipline, etc.

My hubby worked from home very briefly and couldn't stand it. Even though he is not very social, he found that he missed having some co-workers around. He also was more inclined to get distracted by the TV, whereas I hate daytime television.

My distraction at home is the same as in the office - the internet, which I need to do my job, but which I occasionally end up getting distracted with news article or related research that ends up going way beyond the scope of what I originally intended to research.
